Description
My neighbor asked me to help him scribble some comicstrips for his school thingie... The theme is "Effects of over-population"...Even if i don't really know him... (He looks familiar tho... Maybe an old schoolmate or something...) It's just hard to say no to the request since the friend of his mom always gives us a hand when we need help-- ANYWHO HOOoow...
At least i helped! Right? Riiight?
-dumb-
English:
1st:
Panel1: "Haaaa... Class is finally over! I better eat"
Panel2: "The line's long!"
Panel4: "Sorry, we're out sir"
3rd:
Panel1: "We've ran out of rice again..."
Panel3: "Why are they all expensive?!"
Panel4: "We're short of local rice. All we got are imported..."
4th:
Panel4: "You okay?" "I'm okay mom..."
5th:
Panel1: "I'm finally a graduate, YES!"
Panel2: "All I need now is a job..."
Panel3: "... A job..."
Panel4: "... A-a j-job..."
6th:
Panel1: "Everytime I buy food, it's always 'imported'... What's with that?"
Panel2: "That's because of our population! Since there are so many people here and we don't have enough supplies, we import from outside instead!"
Panel3: "If we're that many here, why won't we reduce then?" "..."
Panel4: "Family planning is hard here..." "Really?"

Haha, still in college, I can relate to the 1st and 4th panel though.
I hope that by the time I graduate, there will be more jobs and stuff like that. Its good to read a Filipino comic every now and then.
Kayalang ayos lang din. Masaya dito sa Pilipinas.

So... from what I've gathered, the language is Filipino? <- I'm sorry T_T I'm just unfamiliar with the language... I haven't seen it before.

Pare, benta. Bunnies na pala tayo. I have a question, though... message ba toh na pro-RHBill ka?

Ewan... Di ko nga alam kung ano ang RHBill eh...
And i'm not planning on researching it... I'm not much into politics...
..... Or i'm lazy...

yung bill na triny nilang ipass para bigyan ng sex education ang grade five, and gawing free ang contraceptives and condoms sa lahat ng nagtratrabaho.
Haha, sorry. Though you were one of those who were pro-RH
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't see what's wrong with giving sex education to 5th graders or even giving free contraceptives to everyone of legal age. I support that bill.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well giving anyone of legal age free access to these things can lead to infidelity, which leads to hurting children, and destroying families. Other than that, even the unmarried people--it's going to lead to a lot of HIV/AIDS and other STD's to spread around this country. Contraceptives and condoms can't prevent them. And there's no cure to that. If people stick to having sex with their spouses, then there wouldn't even be STD.
I just think that companies who want to give free access to contraceptives should be allowed, and the people who do not decide so should be left alone. Same goes for schools. The bill is trying to force people to do what they don't want to do. A lot of people support that bill, sure. But a lot of people equally don't support that bill. If the bill is about giving freedom for people to have sex and such, then equally, companies and schools should be given the freedom to choose to provide or not provide these things.
Really.

Granted there are certain sections I don't agree with (forcing companies to provide the free contraceptives), I still like the idea of a mandating proper sex education at schools.
It's still a bill so there's still a chance to change portions of it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope so. :/
It should be one to give an option to companies to provide free contraceptives to their workers
And to give the schools a choice for it
Catholic schools should be given to at least educate their students about natural family planning
But hey, Catholic schools already do that. XD

Even though I don't understand it (the language), I get most of it XD

I can relate most with the 5th panel. orz
Paghahanap ng trabaho, sakit sa ulo para sa tulad kong graduate na.

that's interesting, the word you use for expensive---mamahal
is 'mahal' in indonesian, is it not?
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
Tagalog, or Filipino, words have a largely influenced by other nations: there are many indonesian and malaysian factors that play their part, there are even words from Spanish.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yes that's true, and even malay is also heavily influenced by indian and bit dutch, oh well interesting culture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, dutch, too. My parents always told me that we use spoons and forks because of dutch influence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah hah! yea the same here too, well...
if they didnt bring that culture, we would be using hands instead
or at least chopstick.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, my mom always said not to bash hands- they're quite a useful tool. (She was really proud when I was eating with my hands with a "technique"- pinching the rice with all five fingers, then pushing into my mouth with my thumb. Then she yelled at me for using my hands to eat...)

*Ahh, I meant "...words are largely influenced by..."
Typo, sorry
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Perhaps. Weird, that in Filipino, "mahal" means "expensive" and "love". xD
Depends on how you use it, though.
What does Indonesian "mahal" mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mahal means expensive too!!
yea, maybe the same thing that happens with
Indonesian words of "kasih"
it can means love too or it can mean give
depends on how the context too...
hahah, our language is sure is strange
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Filipino and Indonesian are neighboring island languages; seems like a likely cause to this similarity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes yes, and it's actually good to have things in common
"salamat po Rubberbend"
selamat is the word for greeting/congratulating in indo tho
